MAINTENANCE
Regular careful maintenance is essential for keeping the lawn-
mower in tip-top condition.
• Before each use, ensure that all bolts, nuts and screws are
tight.
• After each use, allow the mower to cool down before clean-
ing off any grass and other debris. Use a brush or com-
pressed air and avoid getting water into the engine.
• Never store the mower with petrol in the tank within an en-
closed area where it is possible for fumes to reach an open
ame or spark.
• When storing for a long period drain the mower of fuel after
the engine has cooled down. Do this outside to reduce any
risk of re from spilt fuel.
• Change the oil after the rst 5 hours and thereafter every
season or every 50 hours. Dispose of waste oil at your local
recycling centre.
• Clean the spark plug regularly and change every season.
To change the blades:
• Drain the fuel tank by running the mower until the fuel tank
is empty and the engine stops.
• Allow the engine to cool and then tip on to its left hand side
(air cleaner side uppermost).
• Using gloves to protect your hands, undo the screw and re-
move the old blade and replace with a new one in the order
shown on the diagram.
• Tighten the screw to the specied torque of 45 Nm.
A damaged blade that is out of balance will cause the
mower to vibrate and may break. Check the condition of
the blade regularly.
